Our Mission

This website is an extension of the STEM Education Garden.

The “Next Generation” Education STEM Garden” is an innovative program that bridges the generation gap between Senior citizens and the youth.

As our programs grow, we research STEM equipment resources, curricula, and funding sources.

Our vision is to share these resources with the homeschool community and other STEM initiatives.

STEM for Homeschool provides free projects, grant information, and a STEM store that features products we recommend.

Our Product Research

You have to kiss a lot of Frogs to find the right STEM products. WHY? Because toy companies market their products under the guise of being STEM. We know … we are doing the research. You will find our recommended products in our STEM store. Check it out.

How to Buy STEM Products for Homeschool Use

Director’s Note: It is crazy out there in Google land. When you type “STEM” into the search bar it returns a “dizzying” array of information. It is not Google’s fault. Someone forgot to tell it that there are different types of STEM products categories. Below you will find the categories we search to find supplies and ideas.

STEM Subscriptions

STEM subscription services or “Science Clubs” are programs that provide 5 to 8 hands-on experiments and challenges in a kit that is shipped to you each month.
